UNSPSC 85501514: Extirpation of matter from right vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 03CP4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501514 Extirpation of matter from right vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relation to state and local government procurement activity captured in recent opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for vascular intervention; however, the six recent state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 target independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and specialty medical care delivery for youth in detention. None of these solicitations involve procedural interventions matching the code's nominal scope. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the broader occupational health, benefits administration, and workforce staffing services actually being purchased suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systematic gap between this code's definition and current state and local contracting practice.

State and local governments do solicit medical services actively — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for a qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary health professional staffing categories; and Collier County posted an RFP (25-8414, originally due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending. These jurisdictions span Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. However, because none of these opportunities involve the vascular procedural intervention that UNSPSC 85501514 nominally describes, the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local contracts in this taxonomy space.
